The Rector of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria (MAN), Oron, Joshua Okpo, says the school will admit only 980 cadets for its new academic session, in order to maintain a manageable student population.
Okpo said that the decision was to enable the institution maintain its standard in and outside the country.
His words: “For example, out of the about 7,000 who applied to be part of the institution in the next academic session, only 980 may be considered for admission.
Okpo explained that the resolve was intended to boost quality training, and apply a policy thrust to make things work.
